ABSTRACT
Scientists understand that imitation functions through a system of mirror neurons. As the scientists watch another person mirror neurons fire through the motor cortex and map that movement into our bodies. This shows us that the students need to be the energy, they want from others in our classroom and provides another reason to improve our own mental health and wellbeing. Hygge is the Danish approach to living well that focuses on being in the moment and embracing the feelings of warmth, simplicity and connection. Over in Mumbai, India in 1995, Dr Madan Kataria's article titled “Laughter – the best medicine” highlighted through her research that laughter can be combined with movements like yoga to have a huge emotional and physical impact on mental health and wellbeing.
